Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe | Fannie Flagg

For @dabbe ! Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my all time favorite movies (and books!). Did a rewatch the other day & this part, where Evelyn loses it in the parking lot, is still my favorite (followed closely by the food fight!). We could all take a cue from Towanda.

Hands firmly grasping
the wheel, pedal to metal,
Towanda erupts.

So much drama at work
Is it me, am I the problem
So few fucks to give
#haikuaday

JamieArc I wish I could send you a back of little wooden fucks to keep at work. Move them from one jar to the next when you are losing fucks to give. I was just given some to keep at my desk and it‘s a great visual reminder for where I‘m at 😂 1mo

JamieArc https://a.co/d/6JTnqda 1mo

CBee @JamieArc oh snap, I need some of those too 😂😂 1mo

vivastory @JamieArc Ordered! I won't be able to bring it to work, but it will be a nice home decoration so thank you very much 😂 I'm no longer on Twitter (refuse to call it X) but one of my favorite tweets during my stint was the following:
https://x.com/stukershaw/status/1373035655291412480?lang=en 1mo

vivastory @CBee @Jamiearc Lolol Gmail notification “Jar of Fucks“ might be the best notification I've ever received 😅 1mo

vivastory @CBee @jamiearc I was honestly tempted by the “Nothing To Give“ jar, but profanity won out in the end lolol 1mo

TheBookHippie @JamieArc I have these… 1mo

JamieArc @vivastory I‘m so glad I could help 😂 I have them on my desk, but hide them when the dean stops by for a visit 😁 1mo

JamieArc @vivastory That tweet 😆😆. I took a screenshot. 1mo

JamieArc @CBee They are well worth it! Treat yourself! 1mo

JamieArc @TheBookHippie That does not surprise me 😆 1mo

TheBookHippie @vivastory it‘s the gift that keeps giving 🤣 1mo

TheBookHippie @JamieArc I did too!!! I‘m so printing it out. 1mo

CBee @vivastory that tweet is the best thing ever 😂😂😂 1mo

TheBookHippie @JamieArc We had a contest to see how many songs you can list with the word fuck in it. I won. 🤣👀🤷🏻‍♀️😂🏆 1mo

vivastory @TheBookHippie What was it?! Enquiring minds want to know!!! 1mo

vivastory @JamieArc It's one of my most shared screenshots lolol 1mo

TheBookHippie @vivastory I have the list somewhere but Pearl Jam & Pink have like more than 15 a piece 🤣 Porch and Not for You are favorites 🙃 1mo

TheBookHippie @vivastory Ed and Alicia in concert are good drinking games for saying it. Ha. However Rolling Stones had a few last time we saw them… 1mo

vivastory @TheBookHippie Did I see correctly that you caught Pearl Jam live recently?! If so, that's incredible. The first CD I bought was VS (i think that @cbee & I are roughly the same age) (edited) 1mo

TheBookHippie @vivastory I‘ve seen Pearl Jam more times than I can count over 30 years- because love. I just saw them in August. I would have been this past month but my son has all special events. I‘m a groupie🤣🤣🤣 1mo

TheBookHippie @vivastory I‘ve also seen Ed live by himself and with his Earthlings band and with Glen Hansard. 1mo

TheBookHippie @vivastory live they are something else. So good. 1mo

vivastory @TheBookHippie I *almost* see them at lollapolooza, but have never seen them. Would def love to as they're a favorite 💙 1mo

TheBookHippie @vivastory you coulda gotten in with me and my peeps at lollapolooza!!!!! Oy!!!! 1mo

JamieArc @TheBookHippie I‘m a big Glen Hansard fan. I saw him a couple years ago at the Meijer gardens and it was one of the best concerts I‘ve been to, in part because it was raining and he made it so fun. 1mo

TheBookHippie @JamieArc we adore him -I‘ve now seen him four times!!! He has a new album next month in case you didn‘t know!! 1mo

TheBookHippie @JamieArc @AmyG is a Glen fan too! 1mo

dabbe @vivastory #perfection! 🤣 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie What I would have given to have been Robert Plant's groupie ... 🤣 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 👀 One of my high school friends followed them around quite awhile 🙃 I adore them as well. 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Oh, are there stories involved? Or involvements? #dyingtoknow I still pant over him--even his 76-year-old gnarly ass! 🤣 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe she would never say 🤣 1mo

AmyG I am so sorry. Everyone who has ever worked on anything anywhere….has had drama. People, honestly, can be insufferable and that number rises daily. @JamieArc Thank you for that…my new favorite gift. 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie I can only imagine! 🤣 1mo

vivastory @JamieArc “Falling Slowly“ is one of my most frequently listened to songs 💙 1mo

JamieArc Glad there is so much Glen Hansard love here @AmyG @TheBookHippie @vivastory It‘s one of my most played songs too 🎶 1mo

Reggie I feel like I work in the upside down sometimes. lol 1mo

CBee @vivastory I think so - I‘ll be 48 in July *GASP* 1mo

vivastory @CBee I'm just a couple of months behind you. Wild, right?! 4w

DebinHawaii Love that tweet & I can totally relate to your haiku! 🖤🐝🖤 4w

Clare-Dragonfly The Count is a Man of Action! https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Forigi... 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 🤣🤣🤣 3mo

Bookwormjillk Am I the only one that thinks Walter and Marian would make a much better couple? 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally agree, they are much more suited to each other 3mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk You are not the only one! 3mo

dabbe @mcctrish Such a narcissistic wimp! 3mo

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Good one! 🤩 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Nope. Laura just lies around, saying “Ah is me.“ She's the typical #damselindistress Marian is so much more interesting! 🤩 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Oh, they would be! They work together really well. I suspect it is an Elinor Dashwood and Colonel Brandon type of situation… 3mo

mcctrish I ship Waltarian/Marialter completely @Bookwormjillk also @Clare-Dragonfly despite the menacing tone of the letter I did laugh out loud at #manofaction @dabbe I‘d lose my marbles too if no one believed me that I was me especially my stupid fucking uncle but I‘d burn his house to the ground cuz if I‘m dead who can make me pay #letsgohauntunclenervous 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought the same thing 3mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish dead ladies can‘t do crimes 3mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk that might be a whole other book 🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

dabbe @mcctrish I think if we ripped up his drawings/sketches or whatever-the-hell they are, he'd die instantly of an aneurysm. #unclenervousnelly 3mo

mcctrish @dabbe we ride at dawn 3mo

dabbe @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 3mo

BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk You‘re not wrong about Marian, but according to Walter “the lady is ugly!” 🙄 3mo

BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish @dabbe We have our fanfic title ready: “Dead Ladies Can‘t Do Crimes: We Ride at Dawn.” Who‘s gonna write it? I‘m first in line to read! 3mo

Leftcoastzen I‘m so mad at all of them ! #greedyPercy #ManofAction #unclenervousnelly 3mo

ElizaMarie @BarbraJean @Boomwormjillk @mcctrish @dabbe - I‘d read that book!!!! 3mo

dabbe @BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk OMG, this is #perfection! 🤩🤣🤩 I say @mcctrish can start it because she had the best line: “We ride at dawn.“ 🤩 3mo

Bookwormjillk Wait! What????? Was it Laura or was it the lady in white? This book is such a soap opera! 3mo

mcctrish What. The. Hell. 3mo

Leftcoastzen Maybe one of those poisons that makes you seem dead but you are not ? I went through all the stages of grief. He would get the money but it probably be worth it to be rid of him . 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Leftcoastzen I wondered the same thing, I can‘t wait to see what happens next! 3mo

dabbe I recall #porkchop hinting to #percypig that he had a plan re: the likeness between Anne and Laura. This must be it. Anne's the one with the heart problem, so Anne's the one who died at #porkchop's place. Laura has to be the one alive and the one that Walter met in the cemetery with Marian. Now we need to fill in how she got there. @Bookwormjillk: #soapoperaindeed

I feel like I'm playing CLUE: Laura is in the library with the wrench .... 🤣 3mo

dabbe Just read this from good ol' Wikipedia; it definitely confirms the soap-operaness of this novel! 🤩
“Collins's works were classified at the time as sensation novels, a genre that became the precursor to detective and suspense fiction. He also wrote penetratingly on the plight of women and on the social and domestic issues of his time.“ 3mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe for real! Total telenovella, this is CLUE, the movie 🤣 3mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe ohhhh good theory. And the flowers did something right? Pork Chop did it in the bedroom with the bouquet. 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk #perfection 🤩🤩🤩 3mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Circa 1860s. 🤩🤣🤩 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly Twin switch! I knew it!!!! @dabbe That‘s exactly how I think it went! (edited) 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yesssss 😂 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly I love the inclusion of “the narrative of the tombstone.” So dramatic! So fitting for the way the novel is told! So unexpected! 3mo

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly yes the tombstone part was A+ 3mo

ElizaMarie #JawDropped 🫢 3mo

KAO I did not see that coming!! (But in retrospect probably should have!) 3mo

julieclair I've never thought of flowers as a murder weapon, lol. (Except maybe when consumed as poison.) 💐☠️ 3mo

BarkingMadRead @julieclair when I think of flowers I think of Carol on the walking dead #lookattheflowers 3mo
